Apparently, there's always been a "slideshow" function available to me here. And speaking of "late to the party," did you know it has been Fall for about a month now? So, putting those two things together on my "holiday tree..." Enjoy! ~Camp Host Chad
Photography
Follow the Yellowstone Road
In my last post, I promised to link these three things: William Henry Jackson, a photographer, took thousands of photographs of the American West, which were used to bring attention to Yellowstone (a story told in A Weird and Wild Beauty), which then led to the formation of the first national park.
